He just needed someone to notice him ❤️
Published on June 28, 2023 at 2:50 PM
Trapped in a cement hole in Fresno, California, a dog named Leroy craned his head up to the sky, looking for someone who might be able to help.
Soon, Leroy locked eyes with a photographer taking pictures in the abandoned lot near the trench. Concerned for the dog’s safety, the photographer contacted animal control.
Animal control personnel quickly arrived at the scene, climbed into the hole and lifted Leroy to safety. Despite his ordeal, the friendly pup remained calm and adoring, thrilled to have people looking out for him.
The rescue group Compassion Without Borders took Leroy in, and staff members were shocked by the resilient dog’s amiable disposition.
“He was very sweet from the moment he was rescued,” Christi Camblor, Compassion Without Borders executive director and cofounder, told The Dodo.
Camblor, a veterinarian, soon began fostering Leroy and taking care of his medical needs. As the days passed, Camblor and her husband felt a growing intuition that the three of them were meant to be.
“It was love at first sight!” Camblor said. “I had a feeling we would not be able to part with him.”
About a month into caring for Leroy, the Camblor family officially adopted him. Today, Leroy is all smiles, living with his mom and dad, participating in fun photoshoots and partaking in lots of other exciting activities.
“He is silly, playful, loving and very engaging,” Camblor said. “He loves playing with toys, playing with his dog brothers and sisters, napping and hanging out in the backyard sunbathing.”
Well fed, cared for and constantly adored, it’s clear Leroy is finally living the life he deserves.

Woman Arriving Home From Work Finds Someone Curled Up By Her Trash Can
She was trying to find a bed 🥺
The other day, a Texas resident named Arleth Martinez had just returned home after a day of work when she was confronted with a heartbreaking sight. In front of her house, she saw a puppy curled up by her trash can.
Martinez noticed the dog was affectionate and trusted her right away, which led her to believe the pup had likely been abandoned very recently.
Terrified, the puppy was trying to find comfort any way she could. She’d burrowed down into a bag full of garbage and was using it as a makeshift shelter.
“That’s why I’m assuming she was dumped, because of the way she was trying to find kind of a bed,” Martinez told The Dodo.
As if things couldn’t get any worse, while Martinez was figuring out how to help the dog, she caught her neighbor throwing ice at the pup, trying to shoo her away.
“I was really, really sad,” Martinez said. “And then I was, like, really mad.”
Martinez posted a picture of the puppy on a local social media page, asking if anyone could take her in. Thankfully, someone from Three Little Pitties Rescue saw the photo and knew they had to help. They brought her into their clinic as quickly as possible to get her the medical care she needed.
After getting vaccinated and receiving her deworming and flea prevention treatments, Milly was beginning to feel better. Once she settled in with her foster family, her bubbly personality began to shine through.
“Like any puppy, Milly loves treats, cuddles and toys,” Three Little Pitties Rescue wrote on Facebook. “But what truly sets her apart is her sweet, gentle nature and deep need for affection.”
Now, Milly is looking for a forever family who can take her home and spoil her with the belly rubs and chest scratches she craves. She’s 5 months old and great with dogs, cats and children. She knows the “sit” command, but prefers to only sit on soft, fluffy surfaces.
Everyone at Three Little Pitties Rescue is confident she’d make a wonderful addition to any household.
“Strangers? What are those? To Milly, everybody is a new best buddy, capable of delivering pets and love,” Three Little Pitties Rescue wrote.
After living in a pile of trash bags and getting ice thrown at her, Milly deserves to be pampered for the rest of her life.
“No more sleeping with the trash, only cozy beds and warm hearts from here on out,” Three Little Pitties Rescue wrote.
If you’re interested in adopting Milly, you can fill out an application here. If you’d like to support other animals like Milly, you can make a donation to Three Little Pitties Rescue here.
